Meet and Two Veg would like to invite you, your neighbours and friends, the old lady next door, in-laws, outlaws, beggars and kings to join us for an intimate dinner in the most public of spaces! Bring an appetite for stories, salt and pepper, and we’ll provide the rest. Meet and Two Veg is a social enterprise that combats social isolation by encouraging people from all walks of life to connect th
rough sharing home-made food and stories. We host 'flashmeals', impromptu home-cooked meals in unexpected public spaces. Whether it’s a tea party in an empty car park or a homemade steak dinner in a crowded tube carriage, our playful performances bring strangers together and turn
the usual on its head. In a world where income inequalities and social isolation are widespread, we want to re-claim cold, anonymous public spaces as spaces of community, play and joyful moments. In addition to our flashmeals, we host cooking and eating sessions with marginalised groups, encouraging members of the community to share their recipes. Lastly, we document the hidden food stories and recipes of different communities through sound recording, photography, recipe books and other multimedia. We emphasize food as a medium through which people can come together in a playful, non-patronizing way, creatively contesting social norms.
